Brenda Song on Blush Blindness and MERIT Beauty Routine

Brenda Song has come a long way from her Disney Channel days to becoming a star of Running Point, but she still carries a bit of London Tipton in her. Sharing her Get Ready With Me routine on MERIT’s Instagram, Song admits that her younger self from 2003 would not approve of her current beauty routine. However, to us, this quick five-minute routine is simply perfect.

Brenda Song Opens Up About Makeup Mistakes

The era of harshly drawn brows and heavy contouring is long gone, and Brenda Song is the first to acknowledge that. Reflecting on her maximalist makeup and fashion choices from the early 2000s, she now finds joy in simpler makeup looks.

“I love that my idea of being bold now is adding a touch of eyeshadow under the eye,” she remarks. She also admits to going overboard with blush in the past, recalling a cringe-worthy moment from 2006 with bright pink magenta blush that still haunts her.

Aside from blush, Song also mentions her eyebrow mishaps, including over-plucking that left her with thin “worm brows” during her formative years. She later embraced the trend of bold, microbladed brows, despite some initial regrets.

Her Essential Lash Tip and Beauty Advice

On The Suite Life, Song’s makeup artist taught her the importance of focusing on one key aspect of her makeup. Currently, she prioritizes her skin and aims to enhance its natural beauty rather than covering it up.

When it comes to her lashes, Song struggles with finding the right mascara for her Asian straight lashes. She follows a moisture-focused cleansing routine, using a blend of avocado, coconut, and castor oils to remove eye makeup and keep her lashes hydrated.
